President's Cup Australia 2019 - Captain Tiger's 4 at-large picks?

Spuzz Totally agree, esp. with the 1st sentence.

I do, however, totally disagree with the hockey thing. I'd rather be watching those badminton tourneys. Which I also will not be watching, btw.

Par4QC totally disagree with the hockey thing

LOL
I will give your lack of taste a hall pass.

Looks like Koepka withdrew from the Prez Cup and TW named Fowler to
replace him.
NOT a great move IMO.
Rickie hasn't even played in a couple months or so.
Would rather have seen Na or maybe even the current hot player Brendon Todd given a shot,.

darpar NOT a great move IMO.

Stupid pick, but not surprised.
All about the now and no vision for the future not to mention making the team on "form" and " merit" is out the window too.
Good grief.
Go Hadwin!
lol

The cynic in me wonders if the amount of corporate sponsorship that goes with the name has any significant bearing on the choices?

Rickie was the 'next in line'.

When some captains make picks that are not what we expect, we do a lot of 'discussing(bitching)' about it. iirc, we gave a certain captain hell because of her picks recently. And, probably, we've gave others a good dis-cussing for the off the wall choices(favoritism) also. Tiger has gone down the line(world rankings) with his choices. As he should. No one can feel slighted, in the least.

This is fair, as long as there is no more talk of being in form, hot streak and whatnot.
Maybe the US should just pick by rankings alone and be done with it.
They obviously lack any intuition, or should I say guts?

I don't feel slighted.
In other news, the Toronto Maple Leafs fired their over hyped and over paid coach yesterday...

It does seem strange to have captain's picks if the accepted action is to pick straight down the line of the rankings. I can't really say that I care either way though. Hope Ricky has a good competition and everyone has a good time.

Spuzz Should be an older, retired guy, who has also paid his dues and is rewarded in his twilight years.

+1 I don't think an active PGA player should be picked as captain.

Par4QC As he should. No one can feel slighted, in the least.

This statement does not mean I agree with the choosing. Some of these guys have dropped considerably down the rankings due to poor play throughout the season. I'd like to see the 'hot' hands be on course, as others would.

Tiger was being politically correct. ugh.

We are only pissing and moaning about Reed and Fowler vs. who Na and ?? Not TW fault that BK is hurt. Fowler and Reed are good pics.....you can make a case for Na, but then who.....seriously state your case.....no one and I mean no one jumps out on the page to me!

I like 4 captain picks as it allows for horses for courses and someone who was hot but yet did not make the top 8-12 spots.

ode Fowler and Reed are good pics.....you can make a case for Na,

Reed is a good pick and so is Na.
Fowler has a losing record at the Ryder and so does Tiger.
You could easily make a case neither is worthy and certainly not the future as far as winning there.
Both are winners at this event, but it's not on par with the Ryder.

Morikawa would be a good choice along with maybe Matthew Wolfe as they are both likely future Ryder Cup members.
Maybe Na should be too.
I also agree that nobody "stands out" which is why I say take a chance on a couple of young guys and/or newbies and leave the retreads (Kisner, Horschel, Fowler, Kuchar, Mickelson et al) at home.

ode bring on some viewers.

You are adding a variable now which should not be a concern as nobody will be watching, except Tiger fanboys

ode I bet you have on of these on the mantle
